I'm new at the board and I did just that... thanks for the info! I'm going to clean my old lame with that clorox stuff and see if it works.

Infinity Lame?

Just out of curiosity, does anyone have some recommendations for washing an Infinity Lame? I was told at Divisionals that mine needed a mild cleaning (I've had it for 5 years, after all), but the person doing inspections couldn't tell me how to do it. Please help!
Thanks!

I'm told that they're hardier than stainless lames, but I plan to wash mine the same way I would the latter: what a stainless survives, an Infinity should survive better...

I was under the impression Infinitys were machine washable, am I wrong?

standard smart-a$$ response. you knew it was just a matter of time:

Even better, just toss the lame' entirely and switch to epee.

The infinity is definitely machine washable. I throw mine in the washing machine on the gentle cycle about once every two weeks or so, and it comes out just fine, and smelling much better then it went it.
I also throw it in the dryer on gentle, but that may be a bad idea. However, it hasn't hurt it yet.

Wow! Thanks for the plug! The link to the washing instructions is near the bottom of the page (in fact, I need to update the jessica lynch section)
